The Mets rallied from a dramatic victory over the Yankees to take the Subway Series

The Mets, on life support after a shocking start to their season and with a roster full of injured players, appeared to be on their way to another losing streak, this time to the Yankees in the Subway Series.
Instead, they came away with a stunning win.
To their end, Tyrone Taylor hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth.
And in the 10th, after Devin Williams got Austin Wells to hit an inning-inning double play with runners on the corners to keep the game tied, Carson Benge won the bottom of the inning with a grounder up the middle that scored Marcus Semien at third for a 7-6 victory at Citi Field.
It was the Mets’ first back-to-back win in the ninth since Pete Alonso’s famous home run off Williams in the 2024 NL wild-card series.
With Tim Hill on the mound, AJ Ewing plunked pinch runner Semien at third and with the five-man infield playing, Luis Torrens was hit by a pitch. That boosted Benge who hit a chopper over the mound. Extra pitcher Max Schuemann and pinch hitter Anthony Volpe collided, allowing Semien to score without a throw.
The Mets trailed by four runs before coming back with a pair in the bottom of the sixth and surviving a dominant day from Anthony Volpe, who had his first two hits of the season and added three RBIs.
The drama began in the bottom of the ninth, when Benge and a groundout Bo Bichette led off with singles.
Juan Soto singled and Mark Vientos singled before Taylor singled down the left field line.
In the 10th, Ryan McMahon swiped third with a single, but Schuemann struck out. Volpe left before Carlos Mendoza went to the mound to talk to Williams, who got Wells to ground out, where Vientos started a double play.
The Yankees appeared to break the tie in the top of the sixth – despite the players getting one out in the frame, a single by Volpe.
After Freddy Peralta left Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr. to open the inning, the right-hander was replaced by the struggling Sean Manaea.
McMahon stranded the runners and Paul Goldschmidt — Spencer Jones’ shortstop — was hit by a pitch to load the bases for Volpe.
Volpe, who doubled in the second for his first hit of the season, followed with a two-run shot to left field to give the Yankees the lead.
JC Escarra shortstop Amed Rosario added a sacrifice fly to make it 4-1 before Trent Grisham singled to shallow left, where Bichette dropped the ball. That allowed Volpe to score the fourth run of the inning.
The Mets got back into the game in the bottom of the inning. They had runners on first and second with one out as Jake Bird replaced Ryan Yarbrough and the other hitter Torrens (hitting Hayden Senger) doubled down the right field line to drive in two and cut the Yankees lead to two runs.
But Manaea struck again in the seventh, loading the bases with a walk by Max Schuemann after singles by Bellinger and Chisholm. To make matters worse, Manaea walked Volpe to force a run.
The Yankees threatened in the first game with Peralta, who struck out Aaron Judge and Bellinger with two outs, but Chisholm pitched the inning.
They went ahead in the third on Ben Rice’s 15th homer of the season, a solo shot to right center off Peralta, who struck out two batters later in the inning before McMahon struck out to avoid further damage.
The Mets tied the game in the fourth with two outs.
With two out, Semien doubled to right to score Vientos in the second and make it 1-1. Yarbrough replaced Rodriguez with one out and in the fifth gave up a single to Vientos.
With no runners on the corners and two outs, pinch hitter Taylor hit a liner to center, where Grisham made a bunt to stop the run.
